Recycle reactors are used when the reaction is autocatalytic, or when it is necessary to maintain nearly isothermal operation of the reactor or to promote a certain selectivity (see Section 5.6.6). They are also used extensively in biochemical operations. To design recycle reactors, one simply follows the procedure developed in this chapter and then adds a little additional bookkeeping. A schematic diagram of the recycle reactor is shown in Text Figure 4-15.

The recycled stream is drawn off at point Q and merged with the fresh feed at Point P. We shall define the recycle parameter R as the moles recycled per mole of product removed at point Q.

Two conversions:
Xsand X0
Two conversions are usually associated with recycle reactors: the overall conversion, X0, and the conversion per pass, Xs :

(CD4-88)
(CD4-89)
The only new twist in calculating reactor volumes or conversions for a recycle reactor is a mole balance at the stream intersections (points P and Q) to properly express the species concentrations as a function of conversion. Consider the gas-phase reaction

occuring in our reactor. Let X be the conversion of A in the reactor per mole of A fed to the reactor. The design equation is

Then: Design equation:

Rate law:

with  Stoichiometry:
1. From the definition from the overall conversion, we can defineF A3 and F B3 leaving the system,

(CD4-90)
(CD4-91) From the definition for conversion per pass, we can define F A2 and F B3 leaving the reactor,

(CD4-92)
(CD4-93) 2. From the definition for the recycle parameter, R, we can define F AR and F BR and the total molar flow rate in the recycle stream, F tR

(CD4-95)
(CD4-96) where

3. From the balance on the stream intersections, we have

Relating the molar flow rates in the various streams

(CD4-100)
(CD4-101)
(CD4-102)
(CD4-103)
(CD4-104)
(CD4-105)
(CD4-106) The volumetric flow rate in the reactor, , is related to the volumetric flow rate entering the reactor  by (CD4-107) where X is the number of moles of A reacted per mole of A entering the reactor, and  is defined by

(CD4-108) The molar flow rate of A within the reactor is

(CD4-109) (CD4-110)

(CD4-111)  These equations for concentration are substituted into the rate law, which is in turn substituted into the design equation and integrated. For a first-order reaction in A and in B,

Recycle reactor volume

(CD4-115) where

The relationship between the overall conversion and the conversion per pass can be found by equating F A2 from Equations (CD4-107) and (CD4-106):

Then using Equation (CD4-97) and simplifying, we have
